Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a confirmation statement?
The annual confirmation statement (formerly the annual return) is a filing required by all UK companies each year, confirming that the information Companies House holds registered office, directors, shareholders, SIC codes, PSC register is accurate and up to date. It must be filed within 14 days of the review date.
What are the deadlines for director changes?
A director appointment or resignation must be notified to Companies House within 14 days of the change. Late filings are accepted but create a period where the public record is inaccurate, which can cause issues with banks, credit agencies and counterparties checking the register.
What is a PSC register?
The PSC (People with Significant Control) register records individuals who own or control 25% or more of the shares or voting rights in a company, or who have the right to appoint or remove a majority of the board. All UK companies must maintain a PSC register and keep it up to date at Companies House.
What happens if Companies House records are wrong?
Inaccurate Companies House records can affect bank account applications, credit ratings, property transactions and corporate transactions where a due diligence search is conducted. We correct historic inaccuracies, file overdue changes and put the ongoing maintenance in place so the record remains reliable.
